Double Barrel BREW 8000

BARREL-AGED BARLEYWINE ALE

Fremont Brewing began as a dream in 2008. Years later, our dream has come true in each and every one of you, our craft beer family. And like every family, we have had our ups and our downs, but we keep coming back together knowing we are stronger together. In your hands is a special nod to you, a gift for now that will continue to give many years from now should you have the patience to wait…Double Barrel Brew 8000. This English-style barleywine ale uses floor-malted English barley, Noble hops, and rests for one year in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and then ages for another 18 months in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels to bring you a complex and subtle craft beer flavor experience. We brewed this to celebrate brewing our 8000th brew, and we look forward to sharing it with you, our craft beer family. “Double Barrel Barleywine Is Life.” – VVWP
